Brief History of the P. C. N. S. Assn.

Music and song have always been considered as indispensible agencies in the mental development of nations and individuals. Where there is a lack of appreciation on the part of these potent agencies there we will inevitably find that they are out of harmony both with nature and the inherent capability of mankind. The instrument which is not used, no matter how good, will soon be out of tune and contributes no part to the scattering of sunshine and cheer and making the world brighter and better. We believe it a duty of every individual to cultivate these uplifting agencies to the fullest extent. A singing nation is a happy nation and the same appli es to homes, organizations as well as individuals.

Song and music is a birthright which has been entrusted to all nations in a greater or lesser degree.

That such a birthright has been entrusted also to the Norwegian nation is a known fact. "The Land of the Midnight Sun" has always been a singing nation. Hundreds of thousands of its sons and daughters have come to North America, the land of their choice, and as such have contributed their share in the pioneer building of the land of their adoption. Organized singing societies are to be found in great numbers throughout the United States. The Pacific Coast Norwegian Singers' Association was organized in 1902, chiefly through the efforts of Mr. F. A. Tomte, of Portland, Oregon, and other kindred spirits. The first festival was held in the City of Everett in the Fall of" 1903 and since that time sangerfests have been held almost every year in the different cities of the Coast, the local organizations having underta.~en the entertainment. This will be the Twenty-seventh Sangerfest of the 路P. C. N. S. Association, and has only been accomplished through the good will and support of our many friends and music lovers.
